Boy, I have nothing compared to the rest of you: 1127 novels and 38 reference books (textbooks, travel guides, etc.) thus far. Still, this is more books than I could ever hope to read before I die. I'm pretty much stuck at one-novel-per-month reading speed on average. But some of the books I have collected I know I'll never read. e.g., Moby Dick that I got off of Gutenberg (I think). Looks good in the collection, like I'm an intellectual or something, but after sampling the first few sentences I know it's too tedious for me. And I thought I used too many commas! Wow, on average there have to be about 25 per sentence in that book. Give me James Rollins or Matthew Reilly or Jeremy Robinson instead!
